To find the origin of how I think, 
how my brain perceives the objective world, 
I fly from Georgia to Sumeria 
and dig deep into swirling sands of time, 
unearthing clay tablets ancient scribes wrote 
that describe the long-lost world where they lived. 

I want to recreate that ancient world 
in virtual model with computer code 
programmed to replicate the way things were 
with avatars that perform daily roles 
tending herds, farming crops, constructing homes, 
and commune temples where they feast and sing. 

I would like to replicate every stage 
in transformation of the human race 
with detailed scenes of interactive modes 
that show how civilization evolved 
from small tribes of hunters and gatherers 
to global empire of corporate banks. 

Our current stage of fractured nation-states, 
contending to enforce their strict world view, 
dismembers our separate communities 
enclosed in framework of opposing rules 
so rivals clash on basic principles 
that define nature of society. 

Most common features of communities 
that function in every country on Earth 
are structured hierarchy of social roles 
bound by common language in founding tales 
describing successful progress of the quest 
fulfilled by founding prophet of that state. 

When altercating world views compromise 
to merge their values in new set of laws 
stating do as you will, if you harm none, 
that recognizes gods as equal tropes, 
opposing nations ally to expand 
strength of their union based on bold respect. 

I wish we did not have to fight world wars 
to increase temperature of national pride 
that melts sharp differences in harsh conflict, 
so we can marry members of our tribes 
to generate efficient hybrid state 
through alchemical mutation of love. 

To understand our complex world today 
we study ancient cultures lost in time 
which shows our creeds that seem so different 
share basic features that could help connect 
our hearts in United Nations of Earth 
where Justice and Liberty rule our hearts.
